So as soon as I was recovering from the stomach flu, my poor little immune system got hit with a cold. I really prefer sweat to snot, and it has now been more than 2 weeks since I’ve run. My nose is running, but I’m not. This was not in my Tough Enough training plan — but I suppose illness never is.
My Tough Enough training plan also didn’t include an 8-day trip to Italy the week before the race, but it does now. I’ve never been to Europe and my grasp of the Italian language is the word “chianti.” I’m terrified and thrilled, which is how I felt the first time I ran Tough Enough — and that worked out well!
So you take the good, you take the bad, you take the rest and there you have the facts of life. Is that how the song goes?
The point is, I’m still out here, but I don’t have much to say about running. Good luck to those who run the new Super Bowl race this weekend!
